1  Scope
This document specifies the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) for the unique identification of recordings. The ISRC is applicable to the identification of audio recordings and music video recordings whether they are in analogue or digital form. The ISRC is not applicable to the numbering of audio or audiovisual products or carriers. Neither is it applicable to the numbering of packages of audio recordings or music video recordings with other media items. The ISRC is applicable to music video recordings even if they have been assigned an International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN) in accordance with ISO 15706 (all parts), or a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) in accordance with ISO 26324, but it is not applicable to other forms of audiovisual recording.

4  Structure and format of the ISRC
4.1  General An ISRC consists of 12 alphanumeric characters. It is divided into three elements in the following order: a) prefix code (see 4.2); b) year of reference element (see 4.3); c) designation code (see 4.4). 4.2  Prefix code The prefix code element shall comprise two letters followed by three alphanumeric characters. EXAMPLE AA6Q7. NOTE  In previous editions of this document, this element was divided into two elements: two letters representing the country of assignment and three alphanumeric characters allocated to the registrant. The prefix code element follows this syntax for compatibility but is now allocated in accordance with the procedures in Clause 5.4.3  Year of reference element 4.3.1  Year of reference — Normal The year of reference element identifies the year in which the ISRC is assigned to the recording (see A.1). The year of reference element shall consist of two digits representing the last two digits of the year in which the ISRC is assigned. EXAMPLES Year = 1998: Year of reference element = 98; Year = 2015: Year of reference element = 15. 4.3.2  Year of reference — Other The ISRC Registration Authority may authorize and publish other schemes for the specification of the year of reference element. It shall ensure that these schemes provide for the unique assignment of ISRCs to recordings. 4.4  Designation code The designation code shall consist of five digits. The code shall be left-packed with zero digits.
